In Design and Technology we have designed and made our own baskets. As our topic is ‘Seasides’ we thought about how many shells our baskets could hold.

Today we cut out the template of our basket and then assembled it to a box shape. An adult used a glue gun to stick it together. We then practised weaving material together. We learnt that rolling and weaving the material would make it a stronger handle.

Next week we are evaluating our baskets and putting the final touches to it! Have a look next week for more photos!
